a) the openSUSE Board as of the Guiding Principles [1] is not supposed to make decisions but recommendations:
Wow; really ? so when it says "The board should document decisions and policies." - it basically has a secretarial role of writing down the decisions made by others ? :-) is there any kind of decision it can make ?
* Act as a central point of contact * Help resolve conflicts * Communicate community interests to Novell
A large part of this debate is framed in terms of "what the community wants", "obeying the will of the community, as expressed in openFATE" and so on :-) As such, it would be interesting to hear the board's recommendation on this topic. Anyhow - I'm glad you're committed to talking to the board before making your decision - and I look forward to closure on this topic. Personally, I (and perhaps you?) would feel far happier if the board were collectively responsible for such charged decisions - and find it hard to believe we created a 'board' with no executive authority ? :-) Regards, Michael. -- michael.meeks@novell.com <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
